    That's It! Dude is 72 and she is 26...stop hating on this guy and give him his props. Enjoying that Life before checking out. Having a form of right relationship is the critical key to longevity and too many U.S. men have either opted out or been beaten down and defeated. Too many older men in the U.S. hate on their brothers instead of sharing information and helping each other out. In the end its all the same for MANY...this guy got divorced, faulty or not, and found a way to make it work for himself instead of being defeated by the system. Good luck and thanks for posting.

      Exactly. 35-year-old Western women will hate on her and him for being happy and smiling and living a great life. All while saying where have all the good men gone? Meanwhile she thinks it is unthinkable for a woman to ever serve her husband or children.

    I stayed one time over my visa time. Not intentionally, I forgot how long i was there. At the airport as was leaving, the authorities just informed me that I had over stayed my visa. And instructed me to go to customs. They were very respectful, informed me how much I had to pay for over staying my visa. I paid that, which wasnโ€™t that much. I boarded my plane โœˆ๏ธ. No issues and no problems. Since, I have returned several times. With no problems, now I am not saying a person doesnโ€™t have to keep their visa up to date, I believe they should, but if someone forgets or delayed in paying, you will have to pay before you leave. The authorities are not running after you, you be responsible, and be respectful, donโ€™t get into any kind of trouble. You will be okay. But remember if you decide to leave have some money set aside so you pay the fees, and depending on how long a person has stayed over will determine how much they will pay. Just pay and everything will work out fine.

      @ariefraiser140 Pล™ed 2 lety +14

      That guy Randy must have fees up in the hundreds after over staying 14 years. I think they may ban him if he's caught. It's one thing to make an honest mistake and overstay for a few days or weeks. You may get away with over staying months or a couple of years but 14 years?

      @@nowthatsfunny1 itโ€™s not 500 per month. Itโ€™s a 500 pesos exit fee you have to pay at BI however at the airport it will cost around 1,600 pesos. I pay 2,800 pesos every other month for visa extension. I have to show my ACR card to be able to get my visa extension. My ACR card cost is 2,391 and itโ€™s valid for 1 year. So roughly around $5,000 US he will have to pay.

      @@ckSport3000 you are probably right, I would not recommend anyone doing this. My situation was, I only stay a few days. At the airport I had to go to customs and pay for my visa stay that went over two days or maybe three, I don't remember. I pay about a hundred dollars, maybe a hundred and fifty. At the airport when they check a person passport and see a person has over stayed, they send them to customs at the airport. And a person is not leaving until they pay. And they have to pay in cash. No credit cards.

    interesting to note, my wife and I considered the possibility of having to bring my mother with us when we moved to the Philippines to enjoy her last days--she was suffering from dementia at the time, was in poor health, and funds for her grouphome care were diminishing quickly. Had she not passed when she did, an option would have been bringing her with us to the Philippines to live out her days...similar to Randy's approach. She wouldn't be returning to the States again, and would be buried and interred here. But...it was just a thought...

Is very unwise.

      @Randy Wilson Thanks for the response Randy, and I understand what you are saying. For sure there are others doing the same thing across the country. As you said, they have never made much effort to force overstayers to leave. Maybe no effort at all, as far as I can tell. Not unless they're suspected of certain crimes.
      It's apparently also illegal to do charity work without government permission and registration, but again, just another law that's seldom - if ever - enforced.
      I'd be careful not to assume that just because things have been a certain way for a long time, that they will always stay the same though. Having a "plan B" is never a bad idea.
      Personally, I'd hate to be in that situation, since i love travel and want to continue traveling. It is an interesting option for those who are certain they never want to leave though. Would work in many developing countries I suspect.
      Best of luck

    600$ is around Php29,982. If you live in the province that is a lot. Depends on where you choose to live. Rent would be around 1500 - 15,000 pesos or more ( regular 1 bedroom house to condo unit). If you cook your own food that would save you a lot and will eat healthier. 800Php a day for 2 people a day is for me too much well if homemade.
    There are travel packages if you decide to go around and visit tourist spots. Cost 1500-5000Php. Depending on where you choose to go. Travel every month or two months. That is not bad at all. You can get life and health insurance which is not that expensive is very flexible and can be shouldered by the $600 budget.

I'm glad you moved on to a better quality woman.

    I've been living and visiting the Philippines for over 53 years. I just left Angeles City a few months ago after my most recent stay of nine years. I will start spending time in both Florida and the PI as I have my kids/grandkids in the states. I have a very nice house only a few miles from Randy. Note for Randy: don't every try a Jollibee hamburger. I did that about eight years ago and still have nightmares over how bad it was. Lol. Al

    This story should inspire a lot of Pilipino living in the U.S. by retiring in the Philippines you are helping the Philippines economy and you have someone who would take care of you for life one thing I admire about Pilipino they are very respectful to the Elderly in the U.S. they look at seniors
    like they should stay in the convalescent,

    I'm happy for all these retired folks living overseas with PERFECT HEALTH. Must be nice to be. 60+ and not need any medication because it sure isn't factored into any of these you can live here for 3 dollars a month videos.

    • @pedrozatravel
      @pedrozatravel Pล™ed 2 lety +11

      Well it does help to keep a healthy lifestyle, but a lot of countries you can get very cheap healthcare. It is cheaper for us to pay out of pocket in Mexico than my copay in the USA for prescription medications.

    • @chrisjuricichxl5
      @chrisjuricichxl5 Pล™ed 2 lety +6

      @@pedrozatravel we also figured that even were we to have stayed in the USA, our combined SS income coupled with any available PT jobs or..even continuing to work and deferring SS for awhile, living in the States would have required moving out of CA to a cheaper state, and if either of us came down with any debilitating health problem, even if we had health insurance, any long-term care facility would have virtually bankrupted us despite everything. Yah, we have savings and investments but it would quickly evaporate. Instead--we moved here, built our retirement house, are staying legally with a PRA visa (thankfully) and...retired! NOT working.

    • @ariefraiser140
      @ariefraiser140 Pล™ed 2 lety +8

      You don't need perfect health to live overseas. There are lots of countries with as good or better Healthcare systems as the US for what ails most expats at a much cheaper price. And when it comes to prescription drugs which is the medical care a majority of expats would need it's ridiculously cheap compared to the US.
      Once you get to highly specialized technical healthcare like organ transplants that's likely where it would be better to be in the US but let's be honest. For a majority of guys like Randy they wouldn't be able to afford the cost of something like that even with Medicare. At a certain point in time you just have to go out and make the most of your remaining years instead of trying to live as long as possible but live in misery in the process.

    • @VagabondAwake

      I would just get 36 monthly extensions and then do a visa run and come back and start all over again. I am not sure there are any real benefits to buying a retirement visa.

    • @VagabondAwake
      @VagabondAwake  Pล™ed 2 lety +1

      I would guess that about 10 to 20% of expats in Philippines fit into that category. The ones that live outside the big cities where it is easier to live like a local.

    Qiang, loved how you magically disappeared and reappeared. It was kind of entertaining and distracted me from thinking about the 45 year age difference. Iโ€™m not mad. I actually think they look happy together. Why hasnโ€™t the world got past age being more than a number? When will women be less criticized if they choose to date a younger man? Just wondering. I liked his budgeting idea of the daily amount of spending money in the jar. If you donโ€™t spend it all, the balance could be tucked away for a rainy day. Thanks Dan for another informative video.
